About me
Dexter Gonsalves
Labor Compliance Consultant, Pacific Labor Compliance
I bring 10 years of hands-on labor compliance experience to every engagement, with deep expertise in California Prevailing Wage, Davis-Bacon, Apprenticeship Compliance, and Trust Fund Compliance. My career spans roles as a labor compliance consultant, apprenticeship compliance specialist, and in-house compliance lead for large general contractors — giving me a practical, ground-level understanding of the challenges employers face in the field.
That breadth of experience informs how I approach every client relationship: with clear, direct guidance that is grounded in how compliance work actually gets done. Whether supporting a contractor navigating a public works project or helping an employer build stronger internal processes, my focus is always on delivering guidance that is useful, actionable, and built around the decision in front of you.
